Hello, Jo! How are you?

Yes, if that's the way they were prescribed. Alternating is often done, in such cases, to help get better control of severe pain.

The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Ibuprofen is an NSAID and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
